Saint-Etienne vs Nantes Soccer Betting Tips – Ligue 1
By winning Sunday on the lawn of Nice (0-1), Saint-Etienne gave himself a real breath of fresh air. Because the season is very delicate for the Greens who find themselves having to defend their place in the elite after a rather catastrophic first part of the season. Thanks to this success at the Allianz Rivieira, Claude Puel’s men took 4 units ahead of the red zone. Before this victory, the Forez players, however, remained on 3 defeats in a row against Reims (3-1), Strasbourg (1-0) and finally Lyon (0-5) in the derby.
For its part, FC Nantes will have to seriously roll up their sleeves in this second part of the season if they want to stay in Ligue 1 next season. Because with 18 points taken in 22 days, the club finds itself in 17th place in the standings with the same number of points as the Lorient barrage who has a game late to play against Nîmes. Unable to win any match over the past 13 days, the Canaries remain on 2 losses conceded against Metz (2-0) and Monaco (1-2) on Sunday night.
